the village in east-central Saskatchewan

Archerwill (2021 population: ) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Barrier Valley No. 397 and Census Division No. 14. The village is approximately 55 km north of Wadena, 52 km south of Tisdale and 70 km southeast of the city of Melfort. Since 1981 Archerwill has been the administrative centre of the RM of Barrier Valley.

History

The community is named, in a syllabic abbreviation, after the secretary-treasurer and two councilors of the executive governing council of the RM of Barrier Valley in 1924. They were: Archie Campbell and Ervie Hanson, councilors; and William Pierce, secretary-treasurer. Archerwill incorporated as a village on January 1, 1947.

Archerwill is located on the Wadena-to-Tisdale branch line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. However, the nearly 55-year-old railway station was torn down in the early 1980s; and the nearly 60-year-old Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and UGG elevators were torn down in the 1990s.

The Archerwill Café (probably built in the late 1920s), most recently operating as Diner Thirty Five, burned down in a fire on June 23, 2016. The actions of the Archerwill Volunteer Fire Department, along with the Rose Valley Volunteer Fire Department — who arrived from 17 km away — saved the adjacent Archerwill Hotel and the post office.
